Jet Blue PR Campaign: Strategy PaperThe objectives of Jet Blues Public Relations campaign will be two fold. This campaign will try to limit the damage to JetBlue's image that was caused by the acts of one of its senior managers, acts that include bigotry, racism, and sexism. Now, what is wrong with being sexy? Nothing but there is no room for racism or sexism of any kind in any organization. And the consequences of such behavior, weather condoned or not, can be damaging and costly. The acts of one individual can swell in to a magnanimous pot of bad PR, heating and stewing, boiling away corporate profits as the public protests and boycotts. JetBlue has established the following three objectives regarding Blues public relations campaign.

First, JetBlue must play damage control: JetBlue must do everything in its power to limit and control the damage caused by the racist acts of their senior manager. The manner in which JetBlue will do this will be later in the paper. Second, JetBlue must institute new organizational policies. These policies will help accomplish the third objective, rebuild the image of Jet Blue. In order for the stated objectives to be successful, JetBlue must first identify the organization's publics.

In order to reach the organizational publics and to achieve JetBlues PR objectives, this public relations campaign has outlined the following tactical plan. The first part of the plan will be to have a spokesperson. JetBlue will have a black face that communicates to its publics, both internally and externally. The spokesperson will be used in several ways.

First, a press conference will be held. At this press conference, the spokesperson will admit fault and take full responsibility for the actions of the one that committed the acts of racism. Furthermore, the spokesperson will announce the disciplinary action that was taken by JetBlue towards the individual. During the press conference the spokesperson will denounce the...

...launch another airline. Kelleher hired Neeleman at Southwest but was not happy with the structured environment he did not control and was fired (Essentials of Entrepreneurship p78).
JetBlue's strategy is developed around its core competencies. The company has benefited by being able to start with a clean slate. It has a last-mover advantage and its information technology infrastructure and use has given JetBlue a sustainable competitive advantage.
Starting with a clean slate gave Neeleman and President, COO David Barger the advantage of handpicking a management and supportive staff that reflected their vision.
JetBlue's management has numerous years of airline industry experience. The team members have catered to customers, they've been customers, and they have extensive backgrounds on what it takes to be successful in the industry.
In the early planning process, 20 members of JetBlue's management staff met for two days and settled on five core values: safety, caring, integrity, fun and passion. These five values result in a superior customer and crewmember experience (Motley Fool).
JetBlue is different from other discount airlines. While Southwest and JetBlue use the same type of jet (Boeing 737 for Southwest and Airbus A320 for JetBlue), JetBlue planes accommodate 162 passengers versus Southwest holds 135 passengers. The use of this plane allows the maintenance costs to stay...

...how companies use integrated mar- keting communications (IMC) to communicate customer value. Modern marketing calls for more than just creating customer value by developing a good product, pricing it attractively, and making it available to target customers. Companies also must clearly and persuasively communicate that value to current and prospective customers. To do this, they must blend five promo- tion mix tools, guided by a well-designed and implemented IMC strategy.
Define the five promotion mix tools for communicating customer value. (p 408)
A company’s total promotion mix—also called its marketing communications mix—consists of the specific blend of advertising, personal selling, sales promotion, public relations, and direct-marketing tools that the company uses to persua- sively communicate customer value and build customer relation- ships. Advertising includes any paid form of nonpersonal presentation and promotion of ideas, goods, or services by an identified sponsor. In contrast, PR focuses on building good rela- tions with the company’s various publics by obtaining favorable, unpaid publicity.
Personal selling is any form of personal presentation by the firm’s sales force for the purpose of making sales and building
customer relationships. Firms use sales promotion to provide short-term incentives to encourage the purchase or sale of a prod- uct or service. Finally, firms seeking...

Blue Ocean StrategyPaperBlue Ocean strategy is an opportunity to create new and unique ways in an uncontested market space. This important strategy focuses on making competition irrelevant through creating a new innovative product or service. This paper outlines a product service that is considered a Blue Ocean move and the alternative Red Ocean strategy will also be covered.
Blue Ocean Description and Importance
Blue Ocean Strategy is slang for the uncontested, innovative market space for an unknown industry. The strategy also changes the focus from the current competition to creating a new value and demand.

The purpose of this paper is to identify the blue ocean strategy and its importance, the comparison between the Blue Ocean Strategy (BOS), and the Red Ocean Strategy (ROS). This paper will also explore the different business that uses each one of these strategies, the advantages and disadvantages of using these strategies.
The Blue Ocean Strategy is the simultaneous pursuit of low cost and differentiation, where the aim is not to compete with the competition but to make it irrelevant. The purpose of the Blue Ocean Strategy is to create uncontested market space, make any possible competition irrelevant, break the value cost trade off and simultaneous pursuit of differentiation and low cost. The Blue Ocean Strategy created three tiers of non-customers, first tier for soon-to-be noncustomers who are on the edge of the market. The second tier is refusing noncustomers who consciously choose against the market, the third Tier is reaching unexplored customers in distant markets. The Blue Ocean Strategy outweighs the strategy of the red ocean because, what’s better beating the competition or having none at all?...

When industries become congested with too many similar companies, it can be difficult to rise to the top. The overflowing competition hinders the opportunities for success. The Blue Ocean strategy involves taking a whole new approach when competing with others in the same industry. Instead of being in the midst of fighting over markets, this strategic plan includes opening up a whole new segment of the market that is untouched. Attempting this unique approach in building a customer base may be beneficial for certain companies struggling with competition.
Blue Ocean Strategy Details
To understand how this strategy works, one must first understand exactly what blue oceans means. The terms red oceans and blue oceans refer to the two different types of space that can be found in the business world. The known market space, or all of the industries that we are aware of today, is considered to be red oceans. Here in the red oceans, limits are known and rules are understood. When competitors are going head-to-head and constantly fighting to outshine their rivals, this is occurring in what we know as red oceans. Blue oceans are unknown markets; they need to be invented, or derived from a segment of a red ocean. A company can...

Blue Ocean StrategyPaperBlue Ocean
Blue Ocean Strategy is recently established marketing concept derived from the masterminds of W. Chan Kim and Renée Mauborgne. Blue ocean strategy is commonly described when a company develops a service or product generating a market platform that commonly prevents competitor from having any significance while reaching new consumers and lessening cost (lexicon.ft.com). In this marketing concept, red and blue oceans were designated to signify the division. Chan’s idea has high importance as it is relevant in the current marketplace. It is helpful for entrepreneurs, and business owners looking to choose and generate the appropriate market for their goods and invest in the right areas (Schawbel, 2014).
Red Oceans versus Blue Oceans
In one regard, globalized production, international channels of data, and technological advances have been instrumental heightened industry production. This enabled suppliers to manufacture a wide assortment of goods and services (Schawbel, 2014). In another regard, any substantial proof of a heighten sense of demand. Industries suffer from hastened commoditization of products and services, price wars, and contracting markets. Markets result in a bloody...

Blue Ocean Strategy
Description of Blue Ocean strategy and its Importance
The Blue Ocean Strategy is derived from the book “Blue Ocean Strategy” by W. Chan Kim and Renee Mauborgne. The book is based on a study of 150 strategic moves made by companies in 30 industries over 100 plus years. Per the book, the term blue ocean means untouched market space that makes competition none existent in a known industry. The term describes how ideal conditions a business should work instead of working in the conditions known as the Red Ocean where many businesses are today. A red ocean is a dog eat dog world where companies are viciously fighting against one another for their share of the pie, and to be top dog in their specific marketplace ("Kim, W. C. & Mauborgne, R. (2014).
In today’s world of business, where companies are looking for ways to better equip themselves to be able to deal with their competition, one theory in the book suggests that companies would be better off competing against no one, and it encourages business to try and find a way to work in a marketplace where the waters are not bloodied by the competition, and find new waters that are free of competition, the “blue oceans”. In addition, the authors of the book argue success will not be...
